Toilet chip repair in Boxted Cross without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can usually put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Boxted Cross and across Essex. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
